Just curious as to how people feel about the recommended shift points in the Owner's Manual.
1st > 2nd: 12.5 mph
2nd > 3rd: 18.8 mph
3rd > 4th: 25.0 mph
4th > 5th: 31.3 mph
5th > 6th: 37.5 mph
I personally think 1>2>3 seem ok, but 3>4>5>6 seem pretty low to me. I feel like the bike likes 3rd gear up until about 40mph. That said, I'm (1) new to motorcycling, and (2) am still in the very early stages of my break-in period (only 70 miles in), so I may not be seeing the whole picture.
Thoughts?
